Project 365 // Day 315
Today I visited the the Fresno State campus for the first time (for a photo shoot event). The campus itself was nice, but it was a very hot day, so I didn't really get a chance to explore it too much. While I was walking around on a lunch break, I spotted these two flags, fluttering about in the wind. I was feeling a little patriotic at that point, so I just thought to myself, "this will be my daily shot". It ended shooting a ton of pics, trying to capture as many different shapes and compositions as possible. This shot was one of my favorites.

As a person who was born and grew up in England, it wouldn't have seemed right not to take a picture of my country's flag at this event, so here it is!
From about the 16th century until 1814 Norway used the same flag as Denmark, as it was in union with that country. In 1814 independent Norway adopted the Danish flag with the Norwegian lion in the canton or the upper square at the hoist. This flag was in use until 1821. Later in 1814 Norway was united with Sweden and in 1815 a common flag for both states was introduced, the Swedish flag with a white cross on a red background in the canton. This design was used for government flags and for merchant ships beyond Cape Finisterre. A distinctive Norwegian flag was designed in 1821 by Fredrik Meltzer, a member of the parliament (Storting). It was adopted by both chambers of the Storting on 11 May and 16 May, respectively. However, the king refused to sign the flag law, but approved the design for civilian use by royal order in council on 13 July 1821. The design is the same as in the present flag. But as the constitution of 1814 explicitly stated that the war flag was to be a union flag, the common flag (Swedish with a canton signifying Norway) was used by the armies and navies of both states until 1844.
